Xu Bing, square words calligraphy

Last week in Taipei a New zealander diplomat told me about Xu Bing Square words calligraphy.
This project is very interesting for the sinoglyphs, Xu Bing turns english words into Chinese calligraphy paterns where sinoglyph turn Chinese caracters into international symbols.

His web site is : http://www.xubing.com, he also have a wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xu_Bing) :
"From 1994 he began writing Chinese characters which were nonsensical to Chinese people but understandable to English speakers because they were one-block words made of English letters bent to the shape of hanzi. He called this New English Calligraphy, and gave lessons in how to write the characters."
